In addition to Carl Henn, another significant Rockville person passed away Sunday: Stephen N. Abrams, who was 67, served on the city council for five terms (1980-89) and served on the Montgomery County School board multiple times (1992-96, 1998-02, 2004-08).
According to his obituary in the Gazette:
Abrams was diagnosed with glioblastoma while visiting his daughters early in the year in New York, his friend Alvin Lorman said in a statement released Sunday on Abrams’ death. . . .
Survivors include his wife of 39 years, Judy Goldscheider Abrams of Potomac; daughters Elisia Abrams of New York, N.Y., and Jennifer Stier of Brooklyn, N.Y.; son-in-law David Stier, and granddaughter Sidney Stier.
Montgomery County Public Schools superintendent Jerry Weast said:
Steve Abrams was a tireless and relentless advocate for the students of Montgomery County and a true believer in enhancing the academic ability of all children. During his years on the Montgomery County Board of Education, Steve had the ability to look at issues from every side and spark meaningful discussions about structural changes in education. He was a forward-looking, out-of-the-box thinker that helped Montgomery County move its schools into the 21st century through the use of innovation and technology.
Services will be held for Steve at Congregation Har Shalom on Tuesday, August 3 at noon.
